Tenho certeza de que vencerei este ano! - Kimi

Segue para vocês um textinho legal onde Kimi fala sobre as suas chances na corrida de domingo, e outras coisinhas mais!!!

Istanbul was hit with a very heavy storm this morning, but the sun was shining by the time Kimi strolled into the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro media motor home for his first meeting with the press. Everyone wanted to know if the podium finish in Monaco a fortnight ago could lead to a win here on Sunday.

“I won here once, so this circuit is not too bad for me, but let’s see how we get our package to work first and then we can see what we can expect this weekend,” began Kimi. “Of course, I will try my best but I cannot promise we will win. We tried some things in the last race which means we are moving forward all the time, so we should be in a better position this weekend. But you cannot compare this track to Monaco, so we must wait and see what happens in tomorrow’s practice and whether or not we have closed the gap some more to the Brawns. As for our car, we just need to improve the package overall and find some more downforce. When that happens we will be stronger. We were the second best team in Monaco, but that is a special place, so it is hard to know if that situation will be the same in Turkey.”

Kimi has won once here, but his team-mates has the last three victories in Istanbul under his belt, so is the Brazilian unbeatable at this track?

"Felipe has won many times here and I’ve won once, so if I get the car working well and everything works smoothly, I can be strong,” replied the Finn. “I am sure I will win a race this year, but maybe this weekend is too soon, but like I say, we can’t know much until tomorrow’s practice.”

On the subject of the future of F1, given the current political wranglings, Kimi preferred to pass it over: “I don’t know, don’t ask me, it’s a question for the people who run the sport. This is not an easy time for those who run the teams and F1, but probably something will get sorted out soon.”

Although the F60 has improved considerably the gap from Ferrari to the series leaders is considerable, but Raikkonen refuses to lose hope about the titles. “As far as the championship is concerned, we are improving, but in terms of points we are a long way behind. But we keep trying and hope to put together some very good races soon. Brawn would need to have a very bad time, not scoring points in several races, to lose that advantage. I think that’s unlikely to happen, even if we have seen strange things happen in F1 in the past. If we continue to improve, we can have a chance, but it’s a slim one. I always feel there’s a chance until it is mathematically impossible. Even if that moment comes before the end of the season, we will still try and win races. For the team this is important.”

Finally, a question about any superstitions he might have when preparing for a race, when unsurprisingly, the straight talking Finn had no mysteries to reveal. “I always do the same things, but it’s not a ritual and I don’t have to do everything in the same order,” he said. Basically, I put my helmet on and just jump in the car! I don’t have any superstitions.”
